Xanima is a dramatic and visual artrock band from Stockholm, Sweden. Their music is a combination of pop-rock- electronica with symphonic elements. There are lot of catchy tunes, nice grooves and the album sounds excellent! It's music from the 20th century as we know from the 80's. This second album from Xanima describes the complex journey of a soul that's been chosen to be the model for the whole human kind - a "Prototype: Homo Sapiens". The music was already written by keyboard player Pelle Händén and vocalist Jade Ell in 2011 but it took some time until this year before the album was released.

As to be expected the album is dominated by keyboards played by Pelle Händén who manages to produce some stunning sounds from this instrument. Together with the excellent singing voice of Jade Ell they have succeeded in making an album that's entertaining from beginning to end. Xanima also is a strong live act with a powerful stage performance, including dancers and actors adding to the live show experience. Especially vocalist Jade Ell with her extravagant clothing stands out on the stage. Imagine a whiff of Kate Bush and Evanescence mixed with Toyah and/or Dalbello (remember her hit "Tango"?) and I think you've got a fairly good idea of what to expect from this album. The more traditional proggers among us might have some difficulties dealing with this album but I think even they will have to admit that this is a well produced album that sounds great! The album is consistently good, although there are a few tracks that jumped out and grabbed me more than others.

Examples are the title track "Prototype: Homo Sapiens", "Parallel Universe", "Mantra", "Eternal Truth", and "Sacred Sacrifice". On the tracks "Ritual Dance" and "Confession Chase" the guitar plays a bigger part. The conclusion is that Xanima isn't really progressive rock but just very good music. It's well worth a trip from "Prog Country" to discover new musical territories! If you did like Toyah and Dalbello in the past this is a must listen!Xanima fronted by the radio friendly vocals of Jade Ell, is dramatic and visual artrock to a tee. It's dark, light, fantasy - all put into a dreamy landscape. The songs of this the band's second album, is describing the complex journey of a soul - that's been chosen to be the model for the whole human kind - a "Prototype: Homo Sapiens".

NOWTHEN played band circuits in Leeds and Liverpool including regular appearances at the world famous CAVERN CLUB before securing a residency at IBIZA ROCKS CLUB NME night in 2008. Throughout they supported the biggest up and coming names in the business.

Returning to Leeds for an adopted homecoming gig supporting in Alabama 3 to a sell out audience in the newly opened Leeds 02 Academy venue, NOWTHEN returned to Ibiza Mid 2009 to start work on their debut album. 

Due to setbacks with the original producer, NOWTHEN found themselves spending the year in Ibiza sleeping in cars, tents, squats, caves, generally re-establishing their contact with nature, mother earth, the universe and honing their sound. Following a series of critically acclaimed performances on the island the band came to the attention of island resident and top class producer Henry Sarmiento, who is currently working with some of the worlds most successful artists.

Having just released a live studio EP from Henry’s Sonic Vista Studios, the idea of this first offering is to show that unlike most of the artists currently around they are extensively a live experience and want to challenge the current status quo of what people desire from their listening experience.

There is much more to follow.

ALBINo MoNK are a five peice rock band sucking at the teet of Glasgow's musical under-belly.  We are a band for those looking for something a little bit different, a little bit special.  Hard hitting influences such as Rage Against the Machine, The Mars Volta, Radiohead, System of a Down, Led Zeppelin among others are mixed with jazz, funk, electronica influences to produce music that can be straight-up no bullshit riffage whilst being subtly complex and at times down right unsettling!

Tired of hearing the same old shit? Give us a listen! 

       

"It's getting to that spiritual level where the communication is total and you leave the ego behind"  
Achieving improvisational nirvana is reaching that point where you can't do any wrong, when you're improvising, it's where the brain is fully focused on listening/reacting and the body just does what it's supposed to do, and there's no thought and there's no question, and no matter what you do, it's right.
